What would I do without you?

My Mum headed back to Queensland this morning. We could not have survived these past two weeks without her and we are all so very, very grateful that she swooped in and took charge of our nest the way that she did!

 

My Mum shows love through action. My Mum shows compassion and empathy because the people in her life...her family, her friends...are at the top of her priority list, always.

My boys adore their Nana. She is a Super Nana because she truly treasures the time she has with them. She is a no-nonsense Nana and the boys know that trying on a tantrum is pointless, her patience and calm persistence wins out in the end, every time. But she is also incredibly hands on and loves getting in and playing their games, is larger then life when reading stories, takes them on walks to the park and even jumps in the pool with them for swimming lessons.

 

What I love most is how she really listens and has the most fantastic conversations with them, particularly with Harry.

Mum is an amazing cook and has the house running like clockwork without being overbearing. When she is here I feel completely relaxed. As does Hubby, he genuinely loves to have her here and why wouldn't he...there is no shortage of TLC going his way either! No matter how old we get, there is nothing like having your Mummy take care of you when your sick! There are probably going to be quite a few times over the next 6 to 12 months that we will need her support and you can be sure that we will never take her for granted.

Thank you Mum...we love you to the moon...and back! xxx
